Concerto for Piano in D minor / Tragic Overture, op. 81

Album by Johannes Brahms & Karel Ančerl & Česká filharmonie & Erik Then‐Bergh

The Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, Op. 15, and the Tragic Overture, Op. 81 are orchestral works by Johannes Brahms, completed in 1858 and 1880 respectively. The concerto combines symphonic scope with demanding piano writing and sombre, expansive themes, while the overture is a compact, brooding orchestral piece characterised by dramatic contrasts and intricate counterpoint, both representing key moments in Brahms's development as a composer of the Romantic era.
